The Sahara figures, for whatever reason, were sorta just a side thing for 21st.
I wouldn't say the heads are too big though, they're actually pretty good with some fodder and not great with others. Like I saw Fritzkrieg use the Matthew McConnehey head on a Ki-Adi ROTS figure and it looks great actually. The turbin heads look good on a number of fodder pieces too, and of course the heads are perfect with most POTF2 stuff since it's bigger, but yeah the Jedi Fritz made using the ROTS Ki-Adi body looked fine with the one head.
The figures are cool for modern military stuff and the turbins come off, that's aplus because they fit any SW head I've put them on and would be good for random background people.
The figures are a little shoddy quality though. Not bad sculpts (bad likenesses though) but kinda cheap and fragile. not 21st's normal quality work.
The line was weird. It's like they got the license amidst their financial woes and couldn't deliver the product. I want the desert jeep for SAS North Africa reasons, but I've seen nothing of it.
The figures seem to have come and gone. I'm just as glad these didn't ship too heavily so the military figures are actually not backlogged cause of these guys. They could have easily sat around considering the fim's popularity and this line's dismal look/effort.
They're really not bad customizing fodder though IMO, pretty great really for Star Wars and military customs.
